Re: [users] Data Base Connection in OO 1.9

[Mark Herzog]

FWIW (in reply to the second comment about Windows and odbc connection support): 
 I have 1.9.79 and I am able to connect to a MySQL database (served from a 
RedHat server) using odbc in Windows XP SP2.

I can't tell from the initial request - are you trying to connect to a MySQL 
database served on a Mandrake server and are you using Mandrake?

Hi All
I am trying to connect to a simple test data base that I created in 
MySQL as root in Mandrake 10.1.

The test database is located at /var/lib/mysql and is named Gork_Search.
I go to New Database -> Connect to existing Database -> Set Connection 
to use ODBC -enter /var/lib/mysql [I have also tried 
/var/lib/mysq/Gork_Search] as the ODBC data source -> user name root 
password required -> enter Test Connection -> enter root password -> 
and get:

The specified driver could not be loaded.
com/mysql/jdbc/Driver
Does anyone have any suggestions.
Thanks

I was unable to to connect using Windows, but I have not tried since 
1.9.m67.
